Book ReviewThe book, The house on the hill, written by Eileen Dunlop is a suspenseful book. You never know what's going to happen or who's behind the door for example. The characters help the book to be even more suspenseful since they love adventure. I loved this book and prescribe it for everyone. As I said it, enjoyed the suspense and the characters had a great time reading this book.

His cousin, Susan and his Aunt Jane both live alone in a dark freaky house in the middle of nowhere on top of the hill. Philip had always heard evil mentioning about his unfriendly, proud and unable to take care of kids Aunt Jane. But as the days go by, Philip learns who aunt Jane really is and even who he himself had became. With the help of Susan, Philip finds that the spooky Victorian house come upon a fifty year old mystery which is really frightening in it's investigation and which reveals a tragic story on Jane's past.
